Legs Boksn--A Baltimore and Ohio Train
Responsible for the hishap.

The B. & o. killed another man, last

THE NEW MEMBER
OF the Democratic State Executive Com
miffga

OF the Democratic State Executive Com
mittse.
II was never more sstonished in my
life" said Mr.. T. S. Reilly, to a REGISTER
reporter, yesterday, Ethan WREN l picked
up the paper and saw that had been cho-
sen to fill the vacancy on the State Execu-
tive Committee. The thing came to me
entirely unsought, and for a time l had q
very serious intention of refusing the
honor which had been bestowed. Reflec-
ton, aud the advice OF friends, induced me
to finally accept the position, and having
made up my mind to this effect, l shall
enter into the work OF the Committee with
all the energy at my command"
"'What do you think should be the policy
of the committee ?"
''There can be no question as to what
course it should pursue. Preparations
should be made looking TO an active can
vass of the State. The organization OF the
party should be strengthened in every pos
sible amer The work should extend
into every school district of every county,
and the rank and file Of the party should
be got thoroughly into line. This is the
sort of work which produces the best re-
suits. A bold and aggressiyest stand should
also be taken in the coming campaign and
the voters brought out. This done, there
can never be any question rs to the result
in West Virginia"
"Have you formulated any plan Of ac-
ton, to be placed before the committee ~
mo, not as yet. / have given the SUBJ
iect no especial thought, except in the line
/ have Just referred to. There is one
thing, however, which the committee
would do we'll t. act upon, and that Is the
general and growing tendency of candl-
dates before the people to take a selfish
view Of the matter, and thus being led 10
sacrifice any or all OF their tellow-candi-
dates in order to make votes for them
selves. Trading is responsible for the de-
feat OF many q Democrat in this State who
ought TO have had no trouble in gaining
the office to which he aspired, and thus
the enemy has protted. Efforts should be
made to bring this practice into disrepute,
and have the party work and vote rs a
unit for the success of the whole ticket. 1t
is only by a return to this good old way Of
voting, by close aud careful organization,
and by an active canvass and aggressive
general policy that the Old time majOrities
can be rolled up again, and the Organiza-
ton put where it belongs"

A Bold and Successful Thief.

Last evening, between 5 aud 6 o'clock,
George Meadley, alias Dode Meadley, a
a name he is more generally or better
known By, stole a pocketbook ont of a
dress pocket in the second story of the
house No. 2224 Market street, and occu-
pied by Mrs. Sadie Tracy. The pocket
book and contents belonged to Mrs. Tracy.
The money consisted Of OF" ten-dollar gold
piece, oEe fiye-dollar note, four one-dellaF
bills and four or FIVE dollars in silver coin.
Meadley was seen to take the pocketbook,
but those who saw him supposed he was
only playing a joke and did not intend to
take the money. Before Mrs. Tracey was
notified Meadley made his escape with the
money. Mrs. Tracy notified the police at
once, and she went up to Squire William
Il. Davis and swore out a warrant for the
arrest Of Meadley. Meadley works at the
B. & .. shops. Aeadley had rot been ar
rested up to the time this article was
written.

THE ANARCHISTS.
Great Interest Manifested in This City, In
Their Taking on.

Great Interest Manifested in This City, In
Their Taking on.
The execution of the Anarchists, yester-
day, created more interest and excitement
in this city than the town has known for a
long time, and the matter vas almost the
universal topic of conversation among all
classes. The demand for the very latest
news was as great as though the city by
the lakes had been given over to pillage by
the sympathizers OF the condemned men,
and the REGISTER bulletins were SUI
rounded by crowds all day. At half-past
one o'clock an afternoon edition of this pa
per, containing an accurate account of the
scenes about the Chicago jail up to noon,
was issued, and was eagerly sought after.
At 4:3O o'clock a second edition wasissued,
and this was likewise in great request, the
aggregate number Of copies disposed of be-
ing very large. 1t was a harvest for the
newsboys.
The expressions of opinion among our
citizens were singularly unanimous. 1t
was almost universally felt that the death
penalty was well-deseryed, and that the
law against murder ought to be unflirch-
ingly carried out, in the interest of q strict
administration Of justice, but q considera-
BILE minority of those who thought that
| the condemned men deserved hanging
were not entirely convinced that it was a
polite thing 10 resort TO the moose. They
we're fearful that the followers of the con-
demned would elevate the felons to the
positions of martyrs, and that the priuci.
ples of the Anarchists would in the end
have more followers than if the murderers
we're consigned to the p~enitentiary for life.
This was clearly q question OF policy, how
ever, with the gentlemen holding these
views, and did not arise from a feeling that
the sentences imposed were not just.
Many citizens confessed to much sym,
pathy for the condemned Reds, the feeling
arising from natural and humane causes.
One prominent merchant told a reporter he
awoke about three o'clock yesterday morn
ing and could not get 10 sleep until half
past five, solely because he could not rid
himsel. of thoughts of the torture the four
men in the Chicago Jail must be suffering.
Several gentlemen took a broad view OF
the whole question, and spoke at length
and with much feeling upon the conditions
o feociety which made Anarchistic associa-
lions and organizations possible in this
country, and declared tlat the CAUSES
which tended TO produce such
undesirable effects ought to be
promptly sought cut by political
economists aud removed by appropriate
legislation. Unrestricted immigration,
which kept the labor market constantly
overcroWdei and thus tended to the lower
ing of wages, the inequalities of taxation,
the growth of moropolies, the slips which
often arise in the administration Of justice
by the courts, III which the rich get of
easy while the poor suff-r the full penal
ties OF the laws, and a score Of equally
potent sources of discomfort, were held to
be ut the root of the evil, and some very
interesting views were expressed.

NATURAL GAS ADVANTAGES.
a Pleasant Talk With Two Trenton Pot
terry Owners, Yesterday.

4 Pleasant Talk With Two Trenton Pot
terry Owners, Yesterday.
Yesterday Messrs. Elijah MOuntford and
| William S. Hancock, of the Crescent Pot
terry Company Of Trenton, N. j., arrived
in the city, and were met by several friends.
President Logan and Secretary Hazlett, OF
the Chamber of Commerce, aud Mr.. John
Frew called upon the gentlemen at the
| Mcclure House, during the afternoon, as il
was understood they we're here for the
purpose of investigating the advantages OF
Wheeling as a manufacturing centre.
A REGISTER reporter met the gentlemen
last evening and found them well pleased
with what they had seen of Wheeling and
her manufacturing advantages. When in
~terrogated "a to the object of their visit,
Mr.. MountfOrd said:
1--WE have heard a great deal about the
advantages OF natural gas, and felt that we
must make Il little tour of investigation.
We have visited PIttsburg and East Liver
pool, are now here and leave for CinCin-
natl this evening"
what do yon think of the advantages
Of natural gasH'
"Well, III tell you just about what /
think. We are now paying 81 so per ton
for coal, ordinarily we pay 81, and it costs
something like $40 to $75 to burn a kiln
of china. aside from the labor employed in
firing and hauling the debris away after
wards. understand with natural gas the
same work can be done fol SO or SIS, 80
you can readily figure out Just about the
advantage OF natural gas over coal in the
pottery business. But even figuring ell
this up, We find that at Trenton we
possess come advantages that, while
they do not even matters up between
the two sections exactly, still are
sufficient to warrant US in remaining
where we are, for the present at least,
and as we intend comforting with Mr..
| Westinghouse concerning the manufacture
ofartifcial gas, to he used in our pottery,
we may still gain some further advantage.
There is one thing that natural gas has
done which people outside the trade are
not generally aware of, and that is,
to scare the English manufacturers
who are not making as much effort
to catch our trade, because as prices are
now, they are making very small mar
gins on exported goods, and
have come to the conclusion
that if a kiln can be burned so cheap with
natural gas, it will not pay them to waste
their time working up foreign trade at
such small profits. While we are greatly
pleased with this section and would like to
be among you, we will remain at Trenton
for awhile at least"
Both gentlemen are genial and compan-
ionable, and Mr.. Hancock jokingly re-
marked that it was a good thing for 4 pro
prietOr to make O little trip once and
awhile, for he could secure points az to the
manner salesmen run up their expense &C,
counts 50 high at times.
